Øivind Weingaarde.My specialty is creating musical soundscapes for movies, theater, radio, galleries and public spaces. My works move between the genres music concréte, noise, atmospheric, soundscape and drone. I work with monotony and noise as well as I incorporate natural sound recordings and organic acoustics into my productions.
It is important to me that new sound material and new techniques are integrated into my audible vocabulary and expression - that it is personalized. For me, that process means: zooming completely into a sound and its subtle color transformations, compiling and testing connections between sounds in different contexts and layers, reducing or deconstructing a pattern, working with timing and relationships between sounds and the quality of the silence in between, listen, feel, again and again.
Copenhagen, Denmark
I have listen and been sensitive to sounds all my life. In my childhood, I drifted around in the Oslo Fjord, Norway, in my little rowing boat, listening to the waves, the wind and the seagulls. The rowboat was in a way the sounding source of my childhood. As I got older, I realized that nature had given me a kind of inner stillness and an ability to open my senses towards making sounds and the art of listening
Listening and sound explicitly brings bodies together. It inspiers us to come out, in lyrical, and beautiful ways, creating connective moments and deepening the sense for both the present and the distant, the real and the mediated.
The entanglement and tension between freedom and discipline, between conscious and unconscious, the humility towards the uncontrollable is for me a persistently challenging and fascinating learning process.
I believe strongly in collaboration between people, I always feel this is the way to create something really new, based on a mixture of different ways of thinking, feeling and expressing.
I think our world lacks a lot of sensitivity, and I like to think that my soundwork act as a counterpart to that, containing and sharing it. Making sounds allows me to connect with people better. It also helps me find out about myself, coaxing out what’s inside of me, sharing a touch without touching. To work with sound is an extension of my being in the world.
